But you deflected your answer. What has Cali or the Cali governor done to stop illegal immigration? Before you jump all over Texas and Perry.

I have deflected nothing. I have no idea why you think California or its politicians are relevant to this discussion but I will answer your irrelevant question; absolutely nothing. But California is run by liberal democrats, I would expect nothing more than their unwavering support for ILLEGAL aliens. So I ask you again, why is it that when it comes to pandering to ILLEGAL aliens the record of Rick Perry matches that of California’s liberal democrats? Why is that question relevant? Because Rick Perry ran for president in 2012 and is likely to run again. His record is what matters, not that of any Californian who ISN’T running. Surely you get that.

Perry wants to be my president, thus, his pro-ILLEGAL alien record is the topic. So I answered your question, please answer mine. Why does a man who claims to be conservative have a record of pandering to ILLEGAL aliens that matches that of the liberal democrats running California?

btw…I am an engineer and I own a construction company that does a considerable amount of bidding for the state of California. But my job, my education, my qualifications and my certifications are irreverent to this discussion. Fences can be built next to a river and it doesn't require an engineering degree to understand that. As for cost, if you think the cost of such a project is too costly you apparently have no idea what we will pay for the ILLEGAL invaders who will be allowed to enter this country in its absence.

First, let me apologize for coming across in such an abrasive manner. It is not my manner as a rule, believe me. I am very frustrated by this situation but that is really not your fault. It just appears that the Feds have put us in “checkmate’. It infuriates me...again not your fault. It is just a political stunt that may well signal the beginning of the end of our country.

It just seems that since the majority of these people are coming across the border in Texas...most think Texas should be the one to stop it. I just wish folks would focus their anger where it belongs...at the Feds. As I said earlier, these people are being dispersed thru out the country. It will ultimately become all states problems and all governors and state legislatures should be participating in some manner. I fear this recent wave of illegals is only the tip of the iceberg.

As far as Perry presenting himself as a conservative but , yet pandering...of course he does. He's a politician. They ALL pander. If he is, indeed, going to run for president again I think you have few fears about him getting the nomination. His last run will hang over his head like a huge black cloud. I look back for a long way and I don't see that we have had a nominee or someone running for the nomination that was worth a dam* on immigration or border control. Duncan Hunter (from Cal as I recall) was strong. But he got no traction. For that matter...we haven't had an administration that was strong in that regard since IKE.

The fact that you are an engineer is very relevant to this discussion. If you can look at the Texas border, the unfenced areas are very rugged. Aside from the river.And keep in mind that a river's course changes during high and low levels. I would be interested to know how long the border fence in San Diego is...and what the terrain is like.

But sadly, if you choose to answer this post, I won't be able to respond until this weekend. I seldom get on line during the week...my job interferes with my at home internet. It's too exhausting.
